The best way is probably to delete the components from
the PCB and re-run sch2pcb. Add the components back
into into your layout using "Load layout data to
paste-buffer".
It's not as bad as it sounds. Clean up the
traces around the removed component so that you can
manuever the new footprint without hitting copper.
